Abstract

The article discusses the planting season in southeast Nebraska, specifically focusing on Evan Woerlen and his family's involvement in farming. The USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service reported that soybean planting was at 60%, behind the previous year's drought conditions. Corn planting was at 79%, slightly behind the five-year average. Woerlen involves his sons in the operation, teaching them important tasks and emphasizing the importance of passing down agricultural knowledge to the next generation. His wife also plays a crucial role in supporting the family's farming activities. [Extracted from the article]
